[QUOTE="KS, post: 25369, member: 970"] [b]Anyone try Berger 185\'s with Varget in a .308?[/b] I know you guys are more into the EXTREME ranges but can't think of a group better qualified to answer some LR questions. I'm thinking of trying these in my LRP-1 (Lothor Walther 1-10", NXS 3.5x-15x-50mm)when it gets here. This rifle is a Tactical rifle built by Jeff Hicks (who posts as "CELT"). I will use it for Tactical Matches ranging up to 1000yds. I just got off the phone with Walt Berger and he suggested the 185's would shoot good at 1000yds and even suggested H380, along with 4064, RL15, N150.
